Hi guys I just took my 2nd MGMAT CAT and the quant felt absolutely awful I felt panicked and approached things with no method.... could some on please help me out.... Please link some 700+ exercises with good explanations.. especially focusing on number properties pos/neg, remainders, even odd etc...
The exam is in 3 weeks but I have 21 full days since I am a student, please tell me what to do to push my score up on quant
At this point I'm thinking about focusing more on quant than verbal since overall on verbal i feel pretty solid strategy wise I just have to find a good time/precision/guess balance

My current scores
MGMAT 1 680 (Q47/V36)
MGMAT 2 700 (Q46/V39)

Thanks in advance !


If I were you, I'd spend more time on Verbal than Quant. If your Verbal score stays the same (let's say it's 37 or 38, roughly in the middle of your two practice tests) and your Quant score increases to 51, your score would improve to a 720, maybe a 730. And that's if you could guarantee that you'd get a 51 on Quant, which isn't an easy thing to do. More realistically, if you got a 49 or 50 on Quant and your Verbal stayed the same, you'd be looking at a 700-710.

But if your Quant score stays the same (46-47), you could get a lot more points out of improving your Verbal. Taking your Verbal up to a 45 - which isn't even that close to the maximum - would get you to a 730 or 740.

Practically speaking, it's better to spend time on both. But you have a lot of room to grow in Verbal. Some of that growth is probably easy to accomplish. Don't leave points on the table just because you're more nervous about Quant.

Re: Help more method for quant [#permalink]
OK thanks but a 45 verbal is really tough to accomplish! ahah I have spent tons of time on it I really don't know what to do more for verbal... the main issue seems that I can't manage to maintain an 100% concentration on the test I alawys run into a series of wrong questions that cut off 2-4 points
